CITYTECH Blogroll:
Thoughts on Snoracle and Why I like JBoss
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
There are two blog posts I have read over the past few weeks that I think give good summary of how to digest the whole “Oracle-buying-Sun-thing”. The first is from Rich Sharples of Redhat on his personal blog. The second is from Mark Little, also of Redhat.
The main take I want to emphasize is that Java is here to stay and is going to continue to be a great platform for building software. I also think that now is a better time than ever to take a look at JBoss, especially with Oracle choosing to cripple Glassfish by disallowing features like clustering, which JBoss supports out of the box.
Official disclaimer: CITYTECH is a JBoss Partner. With that said, I have been working with JBoss AS for 5 years now, starting with version 3.2.x. Having watch the product grow through the 4.x series and now with 5.1 bringing us JEE5 goodness and 6 reaching it’s first milestone in December, things are looking great. I am totally geeked out about JEE6 and the way that it builds on JEE5. I’ll talk more about that in an upcoming post on Seam.
JBoss also has a bunch of other technologies that are worth getting excited about, some of which I hope to have a couple of posts up on soon. Watch for me to cover Seam and GateIn, as I am building an application with them right now.
